A NEW event illuminating for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) has been unveiled.

The Northern Lights Express will travel along the steam railway during November and December.

The 60-minute journey will begin at Pickering Station, where a train with heritage carriages, decorated with thousands of lights, will await passengers.

Chris Price, NYMR general manager said: “Northern Lights Express services are not to be missed.

“The new event is going to be a light spectacular event, which will not only illuminate the North York Moors, but also engage a new audience.”
